Secretary Pompeo spoke with Imran Khan and expressed his willingness to work with the new government towards a productive bilateral relationship. Qureshi said a State Department statement issued after the call was "contrary to the truth". There are no mentions at all in the conversation about terrorists operating in Pakistan.

State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert said in a statement that Mr Pompeo, in his talks with Imran Khan, raised the importance of Pakistan taking "decisive action" against all terrorists operating in Pakistan and its vital role in promoting the Afghan peace process.

Pakistan's newly-elected Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday imposed a ban on first-class air travel, discretionary use of state funds by the officials, leaders of the government which will also include President, Chief Justice, Senate Chairman, the National Assembly Speaker and the Prime Minister itself.
